Microchip expands 1.8V serial flash portfolio

CHANDLER, USA: Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog, and Flash-IP solutions, has announced the SST25WF080 serial Flash-memory device─the newest member of the 25 series Serial Flash (SPI) memory family based on Microchip’s proprietary SuperFlash Technology.

The low-voltage (1.8V), 8 Mbit device features extremely low standby power consumption of just 5 microamperes, active read current of 2 mA (typ., at 33 Mhz) and is the highest-density product in the 25 series 1.8V Serial Flash (SPI) family.

Featuring a 75 Mhz clock frequency and operating temperature range of -40° to +85° Celsius, the device supports the latest generations of low-power electronic devices, such as tablet computers, hard-disk drives, Bluetooth headsets, Wi-Fi and wireless-control devices, as well as camera modules.

“Microchip is now the only company in the industry to offer a full 1.8V serial Flash memory product portfolio, with densities ranging from 512 Kbit to 8 Mbit,” said Randy Drwinga, vice president of Microchip’s Memory Products Group. “With its low power consumption and high-speed clock, the device enables longer battery life and extremely responsive systems in today’s consumer electronic devices.”

The SST25WF080 device is available in an 8-pin SOIC package for $0.95 each, in 10,000-unit quantities; and also in an 8-bump die Z-Scale package. Samples and volume-production quantity orders can be ordered, today.
